However, Hong Tao and Erin did not want Thomas's villa, they did not want to take this favor, and secondly, they did not plan to go back to Florida for a vacation, Hong Tao and Erin had already discussed, they wanted to use a more economical and primitive way to carry out a journey through the United States, the original intention of the design was to start from New York, and then all the way west, directly to Seattle on the west coast of the United States. As for whether it can be completed, none of them can score, especially Hong Tao, he made up his mind to go: go as far as possible, change planes when he is tired, and really can't fly back.

"You are very lacking in adventurous spirit, you do not have the vigor of youth! Except in bed. This is the evaluation that Erin made to Hong Tao after listening to his determination.

"Lao Tzu's vitality has been used up in the previous life, so make do with it! As long as you don't slack off in bed, you're a good boy! Hong Tao didn't say anything, but encouraged himself in his heart, ignoring Irene's sarcasm and sarcasm, just not making that boring guarantee.

In order to be able to get the United States from east to west, Erin designed a very AC travel route, starting from New York. From here, they will first head south to Washington, D.C., and since they are going to play all over the United States, the capital always has to be seen. It then diagonally northwest through Pennsylvania into Cleveland, Ohio, and Chicago along the way.

From Chicago, head south through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and finally Dallas City, Texas. If Hong Tao feels that he still has the strength to go, they can continue to go northwest, along Colorado, Utah, Nevada to California on the west coast, along the way to Denver, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, the western Midwest cities, and finally along the west coast north, through San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, to Seattle.

The whole trip Hong Tao roughly calculated according to the route planned by Irene, and the one-way trip was almost 8,000 kilometers. This is only the distance of the transportation route, not counting the distance in each city, it is completely a long march of 10,000 miles.

Of course, the Long March of the United States cannot be completed on two legs like the revolutionary ancestors, since it is a nation on wheels, then Hong Tao will also follow the wheels of the country, and they are ready to drive Erin's second-hand horse 6 across the United States. As for whether the car can accomplish this feat, Hong Tao has no bottom in his heart, but fortunately, Erin has already spit out, if this second-hand car is not only faulty, she will also have a luxury. Go directly to the nearest city to buy a new car, just like Hong Tao used the bonus to change the car for his daughter-in-law this time.

Some people may want to say, you are nonsense, you have to run in to buy a new car halfway, and if you don't get this new car, it will be destroyed by the two of you. In fact, this is a wrong concept, the new car run-in has been a problem that needs to be considered for decades, due to the progress of engine manufacturing technology and materials, the current new car does not have to go through this step. As for why those 4S stores still require customers who buy cars to run in, it is a greasy relationship between unscrupulous profiteers and unscrupulous manufacturers. They put everything that should be done on the production line to us, the consumers, to do it for them, so that they can save a lot of money.

Here in the United States, no one of Erin's age has ever heard that a new car still needs a break-in period. Whether it is a high-end sports car or an ordinary compact car, as long as it leaves the factory, it means that it can be used normally. What is normal use? That is, the functions that your car should have must be there, and it must be able to use it immediately!

So buy a new car here. When you go out, you have to run as fast as you can, as for the new car speed limiter. In the United States, the seller or manufacturer will not dare to put it on the car, because after installing it, the consumer will think that there is something wrong with your car, and if you don't do it, you will have to go to court.

In fact, there are many loopholes in the regulations of these domestic 4S stores on the run-in of new cars can be drilled, for example, if you want to buy a car, then you don't care if it runs in or not, and you will drive it hard, if the car has no problems, it means that the quality of the car is clear, if it has a problem, immediately go to the 4S shop to change the car, which is equivalent to helping you check the quality of the new car.

A few days after the fishing competition, Hong Tao and Erin embarked on their journey again, and the first stop was Washington, the capital of the United States.

When the word capital is mentioned, whether it is Chinese or European, the first thing that comes to mind is the big city! Even if it's not the largest city in the country, it has to be one of the best. But this thinking is not applicable to the United States, which has a problem from top to bottom, that is, they are particularly afraid of a strong government. In their minds, the government is a steward, as long as it can meet the basic management functions, it is OK, and the steward is resolutely not allowed to be more NB than the master.

Under this habitual thinking, all levels of government in the United States are unlucky, starting with the federal government and continuing with county administrations, which rarely set up their offices in large cities. For example, the capital of Washington state is in Olympia, the capital of Texas is in Austin, the capital of Florida is called Tallahassee, the capital of California is in Sacramento, and so on.

Washington State has Seattle; Texas has Houston, Dallas, San Antonio; Florida has Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville; California has San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego; Compared with these big cities in the United States, most Chinese have never heard of Olympia, Austin, and Tallahassee, right? Sacramento is a little bigger, but Hong Tao also heard about this city from NBA games, the Sacramento Kings.

In Erin's words, since you enjoy your status and status, stop enjoying prosperity and wealth, and find a place where birds don't. Anyway, now that communications are developed, there is no need to occupy a nest in the central area of a big city to manage a state or a county. The land is so expensive, why should it be used by you people who eat the taxes of the common people?

In the United States, what young people want to do most is not to be an official, but to be a sports star, a pop singer, a scientist, an artist, and a big businessman, because there are too many restrictions on being an official, and the treatment is very ordinary. In the United States, if you say that a person is a politician, it is not a compliment, politician represents lies, fraud and callousness, which is contrary to the traditional American concept.

The only slightly higher grade is Washington, the capital of the United States, as the federal capital, which is equivalent to the living room of each family. But after tossing for a long time, Washington did not rank in the top 15 among American cities.

The city of Washington, whose full name is Washington, D.C., was founded by the first president of the United States, George D.C. Washington proposed to establish. The reason was not that the United States had no place to be the capital at that time, but that both the North and the South wanted to make the capital their own state so that they could take advantage of the future political struggle.

You think, if the capital is placed in that state, all the food, drink, and clothing will not have to depend on this state more, according to the principle of eating people with short mouths and taking people short, the federal government will definitely give some preferential treatment to this state, so it will be unfair to other states.

Washington also understands this truth, and he does not want to plant the seeds of this injustice at the beginning of the founding of the country, so he advocates that the federal government should mix in every state, and let's choose a new place to build a new capital. It was also for the sake of justice that the place where Washington, D.C. is now located, because this is the dividing line between the north and the south at that time - the Potomac River, so it is in an overgrown bush by the river that the capital of the United States was established.

In fact, in the beginning, it was not called Washington City, but Washington named it Columbus City in honor of the people who discovered the New World of America. But the first president of the United States died before the city could be built, and later generations named it Washington City in his honor. Later, the city of Washington gradually expanded, annexing the surrounding Georgetown and Washington County, so it was called the Columbian Graduation District.

The full name became today's Washington, D.C. (Washington D.C.), Washington is the city of Washington, and D.C is DistrictofColumbia, representing the District of Columbia. Although the name has the same meaning, the meaning is different, with the city of Washington referring to the capital of the United States, while the District of Columbia refers to the area administered by the federal government.

As mentioned earlier, all the land in the United States is owned and managed by each state, but Washington, D.C., is owned by the federal government, and it does not belong to any state, which is also in line with the original intention of President Washington when he established the capital, and try to be as fair as possible. However, in this way, the US government is theoretically the poorest government in the world, with a territory of less than 200 square kilometers and a population of less than 500,000.

Since the federal government only has such a legal territory, it is natural that all the fine and belongings of the federal government are concentrated here, and as a national government, what does it have the most? The answer is lawyers and civil servants! Because of the concentration of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the federal government, almost all of its residents are involved in the work of lawyers and civil servants, making it a purely political city.

For Hong Tao, a person who has not grown up at all, Washington, D.C. is really boring, in addition to many museums, art galleries, and historical attractions, there are all kinds of cemeteries and martyrs' monuments, although Americans don't call it that, but the meaning is almost the same.
